I'm a 14 year old, and I'm looking to get a job at Chick-fil-a. The only problem is, I don't know how to write a resume. So, how can I write a good resume to impress the Restureaunt manager?

1. Well to put things on a resume you need to have had previous jobs. Have you?
2. at 14, your not going to have an impressive resume. an application would be sufficient.
3. chick fila isn't gonna read a resume, this is a tool for jobs which require experience and want refrences. entry level jobs a fast food isn't one of these jobs. a resume is to explain your work ethic/history and eduation and experience, which at age 14 you don't have much of no doubt.
4. Do you volunteer for any organizations?employers love volunteer work
5. you prob dont need a resume to work at chick fil a. you just need to go in there and ask if they are hiring and if you could have an application. then fill it out there or ask when teh hiring manager's going to be there and wait and turn it into him. tell him you will call in two weeks if you dont hear back by then. kudos to you for being ready to jump right in there and find a job and get a resume going like that at fourteen though. soon enough, you will have something to put on that resume-and hopefuly chick fil a will be on there! good luck!
6. Brandi - You don't need a resume. Most fast food places will not hire until you are 16, but it does not hurt to go in and ask for an application. In the meantime, do some babysitting, housecleaning, odd jobs, pet sitting, lawn mowing, tutoring or whatever. The people who hire you for those types of things often can get you into real jobs down the road. You are on the right track, and you may find that working in a fast food place is not what you want to do, even if you are old enough! I found it much more fun to work in retail stores, a library, and a regular restaurant as a teenager -
